A Huge Facility For Arts Just Opened In Jeddah And It’s Taking The City’s Artistic Legacy Forward

Avatar

A new arts complex named Hayy Jameel opened in the northern part of Jeddah, drawing on the city’s vast artistic and cultural tradition. Exhibitions, art galleries, and art and design workshops will all be part of the multifunctional arts complex – basically everything an art lover needs.

It was constructed by the Art Jameel Foundation, which is supported by the renowned Jameel family, who are well-known patrons of the arts.

The structure that houses all of the art is a piece of art in and of itself, created by Wai Wai Studio, a multi-award-winning architectural firm.

One of the current exhibitions, ‘Staple: What’s on your Plate?,’ examines the ecological and social links around food.
